  • Broken park gate – will be fixed soon

    A comment about the broken playpark gate was posted on the website last week. This was forwarded to the GMCC and Penny Short has contacted East Lothian Council (Landscape and Countryside department). They have ordered a new spring to replace the broken one and will install it as soon as it is delivered. In the meantime, please take extra care if you are supervising young children at the park.

  • Don’t forget the table tennis table …

  • Playpark Painting

    Dear All

    Looking for volunteers to help spruce up the playpark at 5.00pm on Saturday the 3rd of August.

    We will need brushes, power sanders, long flex (to reach Hazel’s house) etc, so if you’ve got those all the better. Also, if there are any professional painters in the village, expert advice would be much appreciated.

    Let me know if you are interested in helping on 01620 830 307 (or using form below).

    Please spread the word – the more people that come along, the quicker the job!

    All the best

    • Missing cat

      Kerry and Stevie are missing a cat…

      He is jet black and goes by the name of Bingley. He was last seen on Wednesday and is not a permanent resident of the village so may have wandered off into unknown territory and got lost. If you see him or know where he is, please call us on 830276 or pop in and see us at Ballyrogan.

      Many thanks,

      Kerry and Stevie

    • Anyone lost a Samsung mobile phone?

      One was found yesterday evening on the road up to Nunraw. Alas, it isn’t in a great state. But I guess the SIM will be recoverable. Drop us a line if you want to claim it. Otherwise, we’ll notify the police.

    • 2013 GHS Show Schedule now available

      The 2013 Programme for the 62nd GHS Show has been published.

      Have a look through the leaflet and decide which categories of the competition you might like to enter this year. There’s even a new category for you to try: ‘Brewing and Beverages’.

      In the children’s section, we have changed some of the competition classes. Some can be completed ahead of time, should there be a rainy day in the summer holidays… Also, please note that the poem to be used for the 5-8 years handwriting competition is on the Garvald Horticultural Society webpage.
